Sponsored by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), this web site will keep the community updated on progress towards the development of State Route (SR) 179.

SR 179 is a scenic road that carries millions of tourists each year through one of the most pristine and unique environments in the world. It is also the only route connecting the business and residential communities of the greater Sedona-Oak Creek area.

Preserving the scenic beauty of the drive, and the values of the community that live around this route are central to ADOT’s goals on this project. Please use this site to learn not only about updates, but how you can be involved in this exciting process.

ADOT is using an innovative approach to the development of SR 179 called a Needs Based Implementation Plan (NBIP). Click here to learn more about that process.

The SR 179 corridor has been split into four segments. They are:

– Village of Oak Creek (Segment 1)

– Coconino National Forest (Segment 2)

– Sedona City Limits (Segment 3)

– The “Y” (Segment 4)

Teams consisting of ADOT representatives, design consultants, and community members will review needs specific to each segment in terms of safety, mobility, and the preservation of scenic, aesthetic, historic, environmental, and other community values.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) used an innovative approach to planning of improvements for State Route 179, called a Needs Based Implementation Plan (NBIP). Preserving the scenic beauty of the drive and the values of the community that live around this route are central to ADOT’s approach on this project. The 17-month NBIP planning process was completed in December, 2004.

ADOT will continue to work closely with the community through design and construction. Please use this website to keep up-to-date and learn more about the progress of this project, as well as view reports and attend events.

——————-

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) worked with the community to design and construct improvements from Back O’ Beyond to the “Y” intersection on SR 179. This road carries millions of tourists each year through one of the most pristine and unique areas of the world. The road is also the only route connecting the business and residential communities of the greater Sedona area. While there have been past improvements to SR 179, continuing traffic build up will continue to exacerbate the capacity and safety issues of the road over the next 20 years.

The central goal of the project was to develop a transportation corridor that addresses safety, mobility and preservation of scenic, aesthetics, historic, environmental and other community values and reach consensus on the planning, design and construction of SR 179.

A collaborative community-based process was conducted between August 2003 and December 2004 to plan corridor improvements. To accomplish this, ADOT used an innovative process called the Needs Based Implementation Plan (NBIP). The NBIP used the existing highway configuration as its initial baseline. This process depended on the community to actively participate and provide input throughout the NBIP process. December 2004 marked the end of the NBIP Process.

Foxy Bingo is one of the top online bingo sites around, which is no surprise as the site has some of the best bingo promotions online and often comes up with innovative bingo ideas. One of the all time favorite bingo ideas is choosing the Celebrity Bingo Mom Of the Year.

Every year members of the online bingo site gets together and votes on who they think should win this coveted title. The title by the way has been worn by many in the recent past such as Katie Price in 2012.

The award is also not without its share of controversies such as last year when the title of the Bingo Celebrity Mom of the year almost when to Stacey Solomon. We say almost because she was unceremoniously dropped from the list of leading contenders when photographs of her smoking while pregnant were discovered. Foxy just isn’t foxy enough to condone this serious lapse in judgment from one of its contenders.

But this time round, there is no controversy – just one very happy celebrity Mom who has been voted Mom Of the Year…… and the winner is none other than Emma Bunton – the former spice girl.

Emma told us that Bingo is not her only passion. She loves to play Blackjack as well! “I like to play Bingo at home, but when I’m outside doing my errands or visiting friends, I like to take out my iPhone 5 and play”. Apparently, mobile casino bonuses are much higher and considerably more exciting, but it cannot replace the friendly atmosphere of a bingo room.

What does she have to say on winning this coveted title. “I couldn’t ask for more this Mother’s Day than to have my two boys around me and this award on my mantel piece. The best thing about winning Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mum of the Year is that it’s chosen by YOU, the British public.”

That’s right, the votes are in and the public has conferred the title on Emma who bagged almost one third of the 10,000 votes. “I’m so honoured that thousands of you picked me, thank you to everyone who voted! This award is extra special because this is the most important thing – being a Mummy!! So here’s to you fabulous Mums this Mother’s Day,” continued the happily gushing mother of two.

There really is no such thing as too many online bingo sites. For players who love the bingo scene, it is always good to hear of new sites opening up where you can play online bingo; and for those on the lookout, here are some of the top new sites in town in 2013.

Even if you do not get your hands on these millions, there is a guaranteed £1,500 that will be given away every Friday night.

bGo Bingo:

No, no. Technically bGo bingo is not a brand new site. It is just a brand new name given to Xbingo – one of the most popular bingo sites that took the bingo world by storm ever since it was launched. Xbingo is popular with its Out Of The World bingo promotions, and here’s hoping that bGo Bingo will also continue with this tradition.

Bingo with webcams:

Yes – bingo with webcams is one of the best ways of playing bingo online. It gives you a similar live bingo feel that you can experience only in live bingo games. Yet, while there are many online bingo sites, not many of them come with the power of webcams.

Fun with Webcams:

Bingo Cams is one of the best bingo sites that is renowned for its webcam bingo games. And to make the games all the more exciting, the site frequently hosts costume or theme bingo parties where players dress up in costumes when playing bingo.

Special Prizes with Webcams:
